magicalart @ElicBxn Unfortunately, I believe that is true. I had heard that there was a television series in the making but that also didn't come to be. Another author I enjoy has gotten a television series. Terry Brook's Shannara series is pretty good so far.

magicalart I hear you there. That's exactly how I feel. That's pretty much why I was asking.

I don't understand how a homeless person can have a car, cell phone and get their nails done once a week. I don't have much money as I live on a small buget and do have a cell phone but I can't purchase a car ( gas money ) get my...

magicalart No problem. I know how difficult it can be just to survive in these times. What can make it more difficult is having kids who depend on you. I worry every day about my children and hope that sometime soon we'll be able to get a place of our own.

Being an artist, it can be difficult to pick just one artist out. I really enjoy the works of Michelangelo. My favorite current artists are Boris Vallejo and his wife, Julie Bell. I think their work is just awesome. It so...

magicalart I do a lot of watercolor paintings mostly. I just enjoy that medium. I have checked out deviantart actually. I just haven't posted much on there. I'm hoping that once I get my own place I'll have more time to work on my art. I'm really excited about having a...

The Homeless population is raising by leaps and bounds. I just read that 10% of homeless people are new and have never been homeless before, they are homeless due to what is happening with the economy. How is this hitting you...

magicalart the government isn't alway all that willing to help the homeless and, when they do, it's just a temporary fix. it's rather sad. we hear so much about the poverty in foreign countries, such as ethiopia, but, here in america, there are so many people who don't...

Why is it that every time I get a referral at a PTC site and reach and request payout, that the site won't pay me? First, Buxybux went down because Paypal blocked their account. Second, Idealbux won't pay standard members and I...

My son is in surgery right now. There is a computer here at the hospital that people can use. I am happy to have the computer as it is keeping my mind busy other wise I would probably be panicking, my son's surgery is taking...

magicalart My best friend's little girl has spina bifida. It's really scary. She's only 12, but has a slew of other problems. It is nice to hear a success. It is encouraging.

Do any of you give to Heifer International. We get the booklet showing who and what we can give to. It has so many stars in it's ads I think it's over kill. It seems to be doing well, but I do wonder if the rules are enforced....

magicalart Just as an add-on. I don't make any profit from my registry through Heifer International. I just think it is easier for multiple people to donate through a single registry.

One of my earliest childhood memories was having to sit on the lap of a complete stranger when i was a toddler. He was chunky and wore big black boots with a scary looking white beard. It took me years later to discover that he...

magicalart What saved me was the ground being really soft and sandy. If the tractor would have gone even a half an inch more, it would have killed me. I did have a fractured pelvis. The doctor said I would never be able to walk again or have kids. I was walking after a...

Does anyone else have to live with family or friends? In the last four years, our family has been bounced from place to place. I feel that none of the places we've lived have been good for our family. No one seems to realize that...

magicalart With the job situation the way it is here, it's difficult to survive on one's own. Is there a limit to helping out? I don't think helping out includes being a house slave and live-in babysitter. I don't mind helping. It's just where is the cut off?

magicalart Yeah. He died in 1981 in a fiery car-semi truck crash. It was very tragic. I enjoy almost all of his songs. I'm only in my 30's, but his songs have always touched me. There are so many people that suffer from hunger, even in our own country, especially in...

magicalart That is one of the things I have been really thinking about, especially with Christmas just around the corner. I know that she has my new number and knows where we live, but I don't think she'd visit because we are living with a friend that she doesn't care...

Polyamory is when you are involved with more than one person at a time. These are no one night stands but solid relatiosnhips that exist at the same time. Do you think you could be involved in such a thing? Some will say that it...
